IDK man, I’ve been using it exclusively on my main desktop at home and I’ve been getting along just fine with those “not particularly good” applications.
What would you suggest then? They’ve been unable to sustain themselves via donations alone.
Mozilla has to generate enough revenue to continue developing their products somehow. It would be nice if donations were enough to cover those development costs but that simply isn’t the case. Because of this the ad networks are a necessary “evil”.

I just recently had a wfh user ship me one of his monitors back because we had exhausted every thing I could think of troubleshooting-wise. When it arrived I unboxed it, plugged it in and the damn thing worked fine. I followed up with him and finally realized he had been trying to push the damn power LED instead of the actual power button.
It’s a work laptop. My personal stuff is running FOSS.
Agreed. Seems the notification tray in Windows is just a catch-all for spam (mostly from MS themselves)
Exactly. It’s pseudo code. It’s meant to be universally understandable, not language specific.
Edge’s first launch setup is a straight-up fucking barrage of pop-ups and tabs auto opening. It’s ridiculous. I groan every time I have to go through it at work. It’s almost a shame because when edge-chrome first launched it actually wasn’t bad. Of course Microsoft couldn’t have that and had to fuck it up as soon as they could.
Good luck finding a 65 inch computer monitor
Same I was taught. Think it’s official. Professor was a stickler for following official rules so I doubt he would deviate.
I have one of these on every TV in my house and they’re great!
That seems like a bad faith argument, but I’ll indulge. Gasoline internal combustion engine aren’t made to run indefinitely and have many components that can wear over time and require regular maintenance. Modern computer hardware has no problem with the task and my “newest” computer which was built back in 2016 has run pretty much non-stop for 8 years now with 0 failure. At this point the hardware is more likely to be replaced due to age than failure. The only argument I can see making sense is maybe the cost of electricity aspect; but even then modern power supplies are so efficient I’d be surprised if it costs me more than $10/yr. to leave my PC on so I don’t it’s a very strong argument.
Hmm. That’s interesting. The only thing I can think of that could potentially cause that is if for whatever reason there was an exisitng EFI partition on your linux drive. Windows will use whatever EFI it sees even if it’s on a separate drive from it’s primary NTFS partition. As you can imagine this can cause some fucky stuff to happen.
People who shutdown their desktop computer everytime they’re done using it are so bizarre to me. Why? What are you trying to protect? I only reboot when updates are needed and otherwise my computer is on 24/7. Been doing this since ~2004 and have never had an issue.
Edit: I’m not saying you’re wrong if you shutdown everytime. I’m just saying it’s weird to me because it hasn’t been necessary since the mid 2000’s or probably earlier.
Put a second hard drive In your PC and install Linux solely to it. Then you can use your BIOS boot menu to choose which OS to boot and Windows can’t wreck GRUB when updating.
Linux Mint might look outdated but it’s stable as hell. Especially LMDE. Any time I mess around with arch/arch-based derivatives or any rolling release distros I’m quickly reminded why I chose to run Mint as my primary OS. I’m long past my distro hopping days so having something that works without question and doesn’t require any mucking around is huge for me.
Hey Discord, give us the ability to stream audio when sharing our screen on Linux ffs.
